Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolQingyu Zhou is a software development manager with 12 years of experience building and operating large-scale cloud and observability systems, currently leading GuardDuty engineering at AWS. He combines hands-on distributed systems expertise—from search and logging platforms at Uber and AWS to SRE and ML platform data planes at TuSimple—with people leadership, growing and scaling teams and driving OKRs and hiring. Qingyu has deep operational experience migrating services to Kubernetes, designing observability stacks, and hardening search and ingestion pipelines (including work on Logstash and Elasticsearch-related tooling). His background blends an electrical and computer engineering foundation from Shanghai Jiao Tong with an MS in Computer Science from UC San Diego, and he brings a practical, infrastructure-first mindset informed by both startup and hyperscale cloud environments. An unusual strength is his cross-domain fluency: he moves between storage, networking (L4/L7 traffic engineering), and developer tooling to deliver end-to-end, production-ready solutions.
